Just a child Lyrics

If you give me a moment

Then I have a story to tell

No happy endings, just misery, pain, it's hell

City's in ashes, I'm under fire everyday

I'm a casualty of war

But your cameras aren't pointed this way

And if only you could see me

You could hear me

I'd be worth your time

And if maybe if you felt my grief

You'd see what I see

Then you'd change your mind

Cos I'm just a child

Generations displaced, our futures destroyed with bombs

Civil war breaks out and mothers are burying their sons

Genocide, starvation, poverty's

All here to stay

It's that western democracy

That has left us in this state

And if only you could see me

You could hear me

I'd be worth your time

And if maybe if you felt my grief

You'd see what I see

Then you'd change your mind

Cos I'm just a child
